Quote:Originally posted by second: There was a 39 percent decline in gun homicides between 1993 and 2011 and a staggering 69 percent decline in non-fatal firearms crimes. Given the horrific rampage that occurred yesterday near the UC Santa Barbara campus and widespread media coverage of similar incidents in recent years we could be forgiven for believing that the United States is experiencing a surge in violent deaths. But as best as one can tell from limited data, this isn't the case. America's murder rate remains high compared to rich countries in Europe or Asia so people are right to be alarmed by the level of violence, but the good news is that it seems to be falling.

New York Public Housing shootings are up 32% since stopping Stop And Frisk. Public Housing. Public Housing. Unless you live in NY public housing, why care? www.truthrevolt.org/news/new-york-public-housing-shootings-32-stopping-stop-and-frisk NYNY crime has dropped 3% since the beginning of the year - yet crime in public housing projects has jumped by the same amount. Shootings at NYCHA developments have surged 32% to 74 - representing more than a fifth of all shootings in the city.

He also ran down people with his car before he started shooting, do we need more "car control" too? He was a woman hating, violent video game playing spoiled loonatic. Yelling for more gun control won't cut it here.

But none of this prevented him purchasing legal firearms, nor did it prompt the police to remove firearms. Your laws around guns are truly screwed.

I agree. Per our laws, even if his therapists or family considered him a danger to himself or others, they could not report him to the National Instant Check System or to the police unless he was adjudicated mentally incompetent by a court.
